Handgun Choices for the New Gun Owner
This is the third installment in a series of papers to educate the new prepper about what weapons they should have on hand. I’m approaching this from a SHTF scenario and an everyday carry, personal protection perspective. While I’m not advocating using any firearm in an offensive manner, I stress that being able to use […]
Simple Preparedness Lesson – Gun Maintenance
Just a quick note here. Learned a valuable lesson about spare parts, guns, shooting, etc. I was out with my firearms instructor from GAPP a couple weeks ago doing some basic pistol training.

My Defensive AR Course with GAPPNJ

A Prepper Ammunition Discussion
The other night at dinner we got talking about ammunition caches… We discussed at a high leve what we thought everyone should have (personally speaking, of course). One of the guys brought up JWR’s guide to ammo storage. As you may or may not know, I think JWR, is a gear nut and that he […]
